Christina Yu wrote to say she recently published several fiction pieces in nationally circulated literary magazines, including New Letters, Indiana Review, Gargoyle and the 2008 Robert Olen Butler Prize anthology. This spring she founded her own magazine (www.cavalierlit.com). She says, “Cavalier is a lifestyle brand and literary venue that publishes poetry, fiction and nonfiction in a number of unconventional forms.” You can find it in bookstores in this fall. They’re also planning readings, parties and a fashion and accessories line.
Brooking Gatewood left the Bay Area in April to start a Ph.D. program at UC Irvine. David Hankins and Caroline Kerr are

David says, “We hope many of our classmates will be able to attend this celebration. More information about the reunion is available at www.dgala.org.”
David also let me know that he’s starting the Harvard Health Careers program, completing his premed requirements. He’s spent the last two years in Las Vegas teaching middle school special education and English with Teach For America.
Christina May has been living in Alaska since graduation doing oil and gas consulting work as a project biologist and environmental scientist and recently changed jobs and works for BP. “I am on a two-week on, two-week off rotational schedule on the North Slope of Alaska, where I work in the oil fields as an environmental adviser for Prudhoe Bay Operations and spend a lot of time bundled in a ridiculous amount of clothes. In my time off I ski, adventure and play as much as possible.”
